We had a great stay. The location was great and we were able to access public transportation easily. The value was incredible. The spiral staircase leading to the bunk room was very narrow and steep, but overall the space was perfect for our needs!!

The location was amazing-walking distance to an El stop, the Wintrust Arena, the Field Museum/Museum Campus, and just a block away from a grocery store. Building is older, but the space was clean and comfortable, able to kick up our feet after a long day. Host was responsive when I had questions.

This was a great affordable walkable & close to the Chicago life place to stay. It had plenty of close options for food grocery etc., or you could walk a block and half to Michigan Ave. Beds were sufficient. The water took forever to heat up but that is an older building for you. Overall I would recommend!

Communication with the host and the location of this property were excellent. We paid a premium because it was marathon weekend, but doubt we would pay even the regular rate if we ever return.While there was plenty of space in the apartment, the layout with the double bunk beds down a broken spiral staircase was not ideal.The furniture was old and stained. The couch was covered in blankets to mask its dingy condition. Holes in the kitchen wall had been repaired but not repainted. There were dead bugs behind the couch, ants underneath it, and cockroaches in the downstairs bedroom. The oven looked like it has never been cleaned. The bathrooms were old and grungy.We tried to pretend the place was quaint and we were experiencing real city living, but we finally gave up and decided it needs a major overhaul. We would not recommend staying here unless the hosts remodel.

Apartment was perfect for our needs. We came in for a concert at Soldier Field and the apartment was located close enough that we were able to walk home from the concert. The living area was spacious with a very comfortable couch. The apartment was older but clean and comfortable. Having the second sleeping area on the lower level gave us space for privacy. We were a little confused when we first arrived as the apartment has two entrances on two different floors. Once we figured that out, it worked out well to have an entrance/exit for the lower level bedroom area and one for the upper level living area and second bedroom. We would rent again.

The host was extremely gracious with their time, and helped us navigate a difficult situation with the large winter storm that hit the country.The location is a short walk from an L station, the neighborhood is quiet and safe. Highly recommend.The shower upstairs had some low water pressure, but the one downstairs is amazing. Highly recommend this place if you need a solid place to stay on a budget.

We had a wonderful experience staying in this location. The pictures are exactly how the place looked and it was nice to have so much room as compared to a hotel. We came in for a graduation so we had several family members stay. The room with the bunks is on the first floor which made it nice for those who wanted to go to bed early....and the rest of us could enjoy watching TV and hanging out upstairs. Having different rooms made it nice.The full kitchen was very nice for us, especially the Keurig - lol - so we didn't have to spend 6 every time we wanted coffee. It was very quiet in the building, and it was in a great location. It was out of the chaos of the busy downtown area, but close enough to walk there. There was a restaurant/pub right next door which was super convenient.Overall, we had a great experience staying here and will probably stay here again!
